Question
Meaningful human review
What does the phrase require a person to do in practice?
Research
Questions I am currently exploring.
My research focuses on accountability in AI-enabled decision-making: who owns a decision, what evidence remains, and whether oversight remains meaningful once work becomes operational.
Behavioural Accountability and Traceability
BAT examines whether an AI-assisted workflow can be reconstructed when accountability is needed. It looks at behaviour around the system as well as formal governance around the system.
Decision ownership
How responsibility is allocated when AI shapes analysis, judgement or action.
Evidence and reconstruction
What records are needed to explain a decision after it has been made.
Human oversight
Whether review means challenge, approval, awareness or administrative sign-off.
Governance language under examination
The work is concerned with the gap between governance language and operational meaning. Particular attention is given to terms that sound clear in policy but become ambiguous in practice.
Research themes
These themes guide current reading, review work and writing.
Accountability in AI-enabled decision-making
Ambiguity in governance language
Evidence trails
Governance implementation gaps
